Daadi Ki Shaadi has found itself surrounded by plagiarism rumours just a few days ahead of its grand release. The Neetu Kapoor and Kapil Sharma-starrer is being compared to a Pakistani telefilm of the same name that reportedly aired in March 2026.
However, actor Sadia Khateeb has now addressed the speculation and firmly denied any similarities between the two projects.
Sadia Khateeb Dismisses Plagiarism Claims
Responding to the ongoing chatter, Sadia clarified that the makers had announced the film much earlier. “We announced our title way before (in December 2025). We did so when we started shooting for the film, and this Pakistani (offering) came much later,” she told Mid-Day.
She further rejected the idea of the film being copied, adding, “It’s not that we have copied from anyone. Our Daadi (protagonist) is not (similar to) what we have seen in their trailer. It’s a different plot.”
The comparisons largely stem from the similar central theme, as both stories revolve around an elderly woman finding love again.
